For homeowners who want it done right
From the first address check to the final submission, Permitech handles the building department side so you can keep building.
A dashboard built for your exact permit in your exact jurisdiction. Track requirements, manage documents, and get guidance in one place.
See it in the permit workflowWe don't guess. Rules come from municipal codes, zoning and GIS data, and the permit forms themselves, and we verify directly with the building department when records are thin.
No more hunting through PDFs or calling city hall. Clear setbacks, height limits, and structural rules for your address, on a clock we track.
A structure placed over a setback or easement can be ordered moved or torn down, and redoing concrete costs thousands. Catch the violation before you build.
AI agents built for permitting run the research and paperwork, and human permit experts review and back every project.
Start with a rough idea. Permitech turns it into requirements, documents, and a filing plan, and stays on it until the city approves your permit.
